A & W Copycat Chili Dog Recipe

Sometimes after eating healthy with lots of veggies and legumes and boneless chicken breasts, I crave something not. Not filled with veggies. Not light. Not lowfat. Some good old-fashioned fun eating. What’s more fun that a chili dog? Nothing except maybe an A & W Chili Dog!

I’m going to begin by saying these were good. But then I have to confess that I can’t really say that. Why? Because it wasn’t until I was putting my spice jars up that I realized that I used cinnamon instead of cumin!!! I know. They don’t look alike or smell alike, their only similarity being their proximity on my spice shelf. So, these were kind of a cinnamony chili dog. But even with my blunder, they were good, so imagine if you made them the way they are supposed to be made.

Oh and as a nod to my healthy eating, I served them on whole wheat buns with baked sweet potato fries. Not much of a wild and crazy rebel, am I?

I just finished doing the 30 Day Shred as my workout today and as I sit here cooling off I open this up in my reader and see that gorgeous chili (cinnamon) dog staring at me. Lawd help me.. It’s warmed up here and I see hot doggies on the grill, soon!

this is the type of thing i crave on a regular basis, and your pictures capture the beauty quite nicely. now, this may come as a surprise to you, but i fully intend to use cinnamon instead of cumin the next time i make chili.

I made chili dogs last week for a movie theme party for work. It’s been years since I’ve had a chili dog and I ate one quicker than those hot dog eating contest guys eat one. It’s also been years since I’ve had an A&W Chili dog. Damn those things are good. Thanks for this recipe.
